Endocator®: The 10-Second Test That’s Changing Endodontics
When it comes to root canal therapy, confidence matters. Dentists and endodontists know that a clean canal is the foundation of long-term success. But until now, clinicians have had to rely on microscopes and radiographs—tools that simply cannot detect the invisible debris that often leads to retreatments.
Enter Endocator®, the first and only chairside device designed to provide objective proof of canal cleanliness in just 10 seconds.
Seeing the Unseen
Residual organic debris—such as bacteria, pulp tissue, blood, and saliva—has long been one of the hidden culprits behind root canal failure. Even with advanced irrigation and visualization, these contaminants can go undetected.
Endocator® changes that. Using bioluminescence technology (ATP detection), Endocator® measures the cellular debris in a sample and provides a simple, objective Endoscore™:
• 1–25: Low bioburden (clean, ready to fill)
• 26–50: Medium bioburden (consider more cleaning)
• 51–100: High bioburden (additional cleaning strongly suggested)
Why It Matters
• Reduce retreatments: By ensuring canals are clean, dentists can dramatically lower the risk of treatment failure.
• Improve efficiency: Objective verification helps optimize irrigation protocols.
• Build patient trust: The Endoscore™ is simple to communicate, helping patients feel confident in their care.
• Deliver ROI: With 15 million root canals performed annually in the U.S., and retreatments costing between $1,100–$2,200 each, the Endocator® practically pays for itself (MSRP: $1,900) with just one avoided retreatment.
What Clinicians Are Saying
Early adopters are already seeing the benefits. Dr. Brett Gilbert, an endodontic leader, shares in his video why Endocator® is such a breakthrough for the profession. Other clinicians have echoed the same sentiment: objective, measurable results give them the confidence they’ve always wanted in endodontics.
